The Green Party is huffing serious solvents. Zack Polanski still maintains - post Supreme Court - that women can have a penis and transwomen have a place in women's sports. Homophobic, but also eejits.

Piers Morgan interviews the Green Party's Zack Polanski (47 minutes in), who opines that trans-identifying men should be in women's sports and women can have a penis. It's all down to nuance, apparently.

Great post about stolen IP and IDF propaganda.

"We", says the draft-dodger.

Genius: ICE goons have the choice of beating up a froggie in front of a nation brought up on sweet, optimistic Kermit or retreating.

Macho, macho man.

That's a family-sized popcorn treat in the making.

Do you swim in your clothes?

Fantabuloso.

Very fine - optimistic, even - post about the First Amendment.

The correct URL for a great piece. And relieved to see ’theist’ emerging in this thread as a new trans activist insult to break the mind-numbing monotony of the old ones. www.tabletmag.com/sections/sci...

I want to be a difficult woman when I grow up.

She’s just not that bright.

Missed it at the time, so brava from the back!

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

National Defense Ministry Honors 11 Soldiers for Refusing Illegal Orders National Defense Ministry Honors 11 Soldiers for Refusing Illegal Orders Honored for rejecting illegal orders during martial law, Marine death probe

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

Makes me hoot every time I run across it - what an anecdote!

I have come to the conclusion that you either don't understand the SC ruling or you don't give a toss for your female constituents, or both.

The EHRC guidance cannot change the law. Any legally constituted female service provision or sport must exclude all males incl. those who identify as women and those with GRCs. So if you want to attempt to undo the legal rights women have fought for over decades you are in the right place to do so.

100%. Repellent.

'Defeat' is very on-brand for the Good Law Project, but this midwit 'campaign' is no more than a data gathering exercise - Virgin Active (unlike the GLP) acknowledge they're obliged to follow the law.

Virgin Active brings its changing rooms policy in line with the law after threat of legal action Virgin Active has changed its changing-room policy to ensure that biological men (including those who identify as “transgender women”) are no longer

Follow the law, huh? It's just GLP twaddle. VA: "[The] Supreme Court confirmed that the Equality Act 2010 defines sex in biological terms… the decision [is] legally binding... [W]e are required to make certain changes to how we operate and manage...our facilities."

Pretty shocked to see @prospectmagazine.co.uk
apparently advocating for the reinstatement of non evidence-based puberty blockers for children.
And bemoaning legal protections against discrimination & harassment for women & girls as enshrined in the 2010 Equality Act.
WTF?

Extraordinary. How are satirists coping when the loons are doing their work for them?

I’ve got the latest, incl. the appeals court ruling that makes no sense & the financial blackhole DeSantis has put FL in while chasing Trump’s love.
